Notes: Well I wanted to just ride, and not investigate, but curiosity got the best of me and I entered the area from a different trailhead. The freakishly hot weather limited my ride since I was on some pretty rough stuff. Managed to get myself all twisted up again on New London Turnpike, wanting to close a loop back to the trailhead, but instead went off in the wrong direction(s). Also, in search of hidden stuff, ran into more dead ends; old logging roads that would have closed the loop but were just to overgrown for the time I had. So last leg back to the truck was on the road.
Tidbits: The area has great potential for expansion, some log bridges and good variety of terrain, but needs more riders and maintenance.
Happy Trails,
OMMB
